I have 2 hard drives and I can't mount anything but / off my ad1s1a.

I was using an article "BDS Tricks: Unprepared Disaster Recovery" from the
O'Reilly network and did this.

#find / -name MAKEDEV -print
#cp MAKEDEV /mnt/dev
#sh MAKEDEV all

Well, now when I reboot it just hangs at,
Mounting root from ufs: /dev/ad0s1a

I can use the fix it disk to get into / but I'm sure I didn't touch
anything.

I have a backup on my second harddrive but I can't mount any of the
partitions from the boot up CD. I am using version 4.5 bootup CD on my
FreeBSD 4.62.

 This works from the fix it shell
mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt
 If I type, mount /dev/ad0s2 /mnt
I get this error "Incorrect Super Block"

I have 2 text books and feel like starting a fire (sniff) Please help me!!!
